The Billionaire’s Maid Bride (Flanagan and Allison) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 

After Christopher heard all of this, he pondered over it for a bit, then promptly nodded, I’ll give Allison a ring. You head over to the hotel to sort some stuff out.” 

Not long after, Allison got a call from Christopher and made her way to the hotel

In the bride’s lounge

Leah stared at Allison, whose face resembled Penelope’s so much that she found herself nodding frequently

Leah had never thought that the face she despised the most would come in handy today, only that Allison’s demeanor was gentle, totally unlike Penelope’s fierce and arrogant aura. It was easy to tell them apart

In terms of facial features and skin tone, Allison’s skin was a shade lighter than Penelope’s, and her eyes seemed bigger

After a while, she explained what she needed Allison to do and gave her a heads up, Allison, the Flanagan family has always been good to you. Once this is done, I’ll arrange a specialist consultation for your mother, but you must keep this a secret today. If the Lindberg family finds outyou know what’s at stake.” 

Allison clasped her hands tightly. She had thought that after that night, she would have no ties with that man, but she never expected to be asked to stand in for Penelope to get engaged to Lucian

This was undoubtedly risky, and if she wasn’t careful, he would find out what happened that night

But she couldn’t delay the treatment for her mother’s illness any longer…. 

Alright, I agree.” 

After Allison agreed, with the help of two assistants, she slipped into a custommade wedding dress worth a million dollars, the skirt studded with diamonds, undeniably beautiful. However, Allison was thinner than Penelope, her waistline more slender, and it took a few safety pins at the back to make it fit

The white lace veil fell, obstructing Allison’s view

She was led downstairs by Christopher, who finally handed her off to Lucian. The man held her hand, and through her gloves, she could feel the warmth of his palm

Her heart fluttered a little 

Everything was beautiful, the lavish engagement ceremony, the expensive wedding dress she was wearing

And the handsome man in front of her

But for her, all of this was just a bubble

Now, let our betrothed couple exchange their engagement rings!the minister’s voice pulled Allison back from her thoughts. She 

looked up to meet the man’s gaze

Lucian’s lips curled into a smile. The engagement banquet was coordinated by the Lindberg family’s butter and was just a formality to him. Marrying Penelope was just to give her closure

But now, looking at the shy woman in front of him, he felt a strange sense of happiness. It seemedgetting married wasn’t a bad idea 

after all

He slid the engagement ring onto her middle finger. The beautiful, sparkling ring shone in Allison’s eyes, and she felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest

At the minister’s prompting, she picked up the other ring and tried to slide it onto the man’s finger, her movements shaky

Lucian reassured her in a low voice, “Don’t be nervous.”
